Bit of context. Deleting after import is unlikely to have zero'd out the data on the SD - so using photorec would have allowed them to quickly and easily recover their pictures from the SD card.
"For the last several decades society put massive pressure on kids to conform to heteronormativity. With these pressures lessening more and more people are feeling empowered to explore their sexuality."
He talks about society putting pressure on kids to be straight and then talks about people and sexuality in the same damn paragraph; are you being purposefully obtuse?
Yes and me and my wife laugh about it but there is an obvious distinctive preference for kids male and female which will play into sales .. no one is forcing anyone to buy anything and even back in the 80s growing up I knew kids that would buy toys you'd associate with the other gender.
As a parent I have no idea what you are trying to say with this idea of pushing "heteronormativity" - I don't and don't know any parents that push anything sexual let alone encouraging kids to explore sexuality .. they are kids and will be kids until they mature and begin to feel the urge to explore. This normalising of sexualising of children is abhorrent.
Edit: the voting on this comment is crazy.. the number of HN users that feel sexualisation of children isn't bad is utterly shameful.
It's just my opinion based on 20+ years of developing data management solutions across thousands of customers.. any framework employs a set of beliefs and that creates a box you are constrained to think in, hell SQL is one of them boxes. You say "They're not a replacement for being knowledgeable in SQL whatsoever." .. so what are they then?
Edit: I once spent/wasted almost 2 years of my life trying to develop the ultimate ORM. In the end I replaced it for a simple directory structure of API end points where every .php file does a specific job with good old SQL queries in there.
I used Postgres when I first started out in ~2002 but it was slow, really slow, I switched to MySQL and it was fast and the customers happy. The MyISAM table engine was shit hot(fast) but it took me years to get my head around constraints and then indexes etc to actually get a basic level of competence and realise MyISAM was a bunch of trade off's for performance. Anyway I loved PG and still do romanise it.. what if I stayed.. what could have been.. but it didn't get the job done, for me.
Edit: oh yeah Smarty is still a thing and so is PHPClasses.org whilst I think about it.. I've nothing against PHPClasses apart from it tries to pass itself off as something other than it is.. an amateur coders exchange.
I bumped into an old friend recently and he and his wife work at a real estate company. They were raving about this new system they are a couple of years into the development of and how it's built on this great "Kubernetes" system.. they asked what I develop my products with and I almost felt embarrassed to say PHP and a couple of servers in two locations for redundancy that run Archlinux with a LAMP (LNMP? I guess with NGINX/MariaDB these days) stack .. same thing I've used for 20 years now (I was one of the first AL volunteers). When I asked what language their system is developed in they said Kubernetes, of course.
Anyway, it kind of reminds me of the days when everyone was developing a PHP Framework .. I've never used one and if I was to apply for a PHP job I'd be unlikely to succeed as I'm very specialised in getting shit done.
